Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav narrowly escaped from a major accident at Keesara in Medchal district this morning, when a transport lorry hit their car when the car was in a stationary position off the highway.
However, Medchal MLA Sudheer Reddy, who accompanied the minister, suffered minor injuries.
Accompanied by Reddy, Yadav was proceeding to Medchal to inaugurate new district offices on the occasion of the first anniversary of the new districts in the state. They made a halt at a roadside dhaba to fresh up before reaching the program venue in Medchal. In that time, a Madhya Pradesh lorry with a heavy load of cargo, which was also proceeding towards Medchal, hit the car from behind causing damage to it.
As Yadav had gotten out of the car to wash his face, he escaped unhurt. Reddy, who was sitting in the car, received simple injuries due to the impact.
The lorry driver was taken into custody and the vehicle was seized.
